I couldn't be bothered cutting, grinding and welding so I turned to sparks of a different type. I dragged out all the major electrical components that need to be located under the dash. Not a lot in this car so wiring will be relatively straight forward. Stock switches back in place ready for some basic wiring Accelerator and cruise control cables run through the firewall Cruise control module mounted under the dash and cable run through the firewall. Relay block, fuse block, Dash controller and water pump/fan controller.

What fans are they? Been looking at a PWR or ADC radiator with their fans and shroud as the FG fan is going to look ugly. |

Firstly, love seeing your work, you're very skilled and obviously capable of anything. On that note why did you need someone to make you an adaptor? I take it was to raise the rocker covers to clear the roller rockers?
I see your modification but is that enough clearance to the booster?

The adaptors allow early non EFI rocker covers to be used on the later EFI heads. It gives the motor an old school look. I will have to move the booster slightly. It's no big deal at this stage as everything is still being mocked up.

So I'm going back to a good old original style, maybe a PWR alloy one rubber mounted. |

So I'm going back to a good old original style, maybe a PWR alloy one rubber mounted. I have an Aussie Desert cooler EH V8 radiator in the sedan. It works OK. It runs hotter than the ute but doesn't overheat. The ute runs an eBay special HQ-HZ alloy radiator and two 14" Davies Craig front mounted fans.. The subframes needed a lot of modification to get it to fit. It sits on 180 degrees all day long. Will a WB V8 radiator work for you. Not saying it would bolt in but the dimensions must be close.

Will a WB V8 radiator work for you. Not saying it would bolt in but the dimensions must be close. Too wide. I have a few HQ 350 5 row radiators here in good nick still, I'll either use one of those modified on the sides to fit a HK-HG or get a PRW alloy one to suit HK-HG that come with the fully made shroud and fans. Once I dummy up the 283 with the serpentine a/c, steer, alternator and electric water pump I'll see how much space I have. |
